Gtw500a Parts

The Transmission Assembly is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It is responsible for transferring power from the motor to the washer's agitator or drum, enabling the wash and spin cycles. This assembly ensures that the washer moves through the various stages of the cycle, allowing for thorough cleaning of laundry.

Causes of a bad transmission assembly can include wear and tear over time, damage to internal gears or bearings, or fluid leakage from the assembly. Continuous use of heavy or unbalanced loads may accelerate damage, leading to performance issues.

Symptoms of a bad transmission assembly include:

• Loud grinding or clunking noises during the wash or spin cycles
• The drum not spinning or agitating properly
• The washer stopping mid-cycle or failing to complete cycles

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

• Ensures valves actuate correctly during fill operations
• Helps resolve no-fill, partial/intermittent filling, or one valve not activating
• Clears valve-circuit error codes or issues from loose, burnt, or broken connectors

• Unplug the washer before servicing; turn off water supply if moving hoses
• Note/photograph original routing and connector locations; move any clips/retainers to the new harness
• Seat connectors fully on the valve solenoids; do not force—align keys to avoid pin damage
• Inspect valve coils and connector pins for heat damage or corrosion and address as needed

The Clamp is an OEM part for GE washers. It is used to securely fasten critical components like hoses, sensors, and wiring harnesses in place inside the washer cabinet. 

As a machine that handles water, chemicals, and moving parts, a washer requires many clamps to organize its internal systems. They ensure hoses and electrical wiring remain properly positioned and protected throughout years of operation. Without solid clamps, connections could loosen or detach, leading to leaks or electrical faults.

Causes of a bad clamp can include fatigue from constant vibration, outright breakage from impact or tension overload, or rust/corrosion damage over extended use. 

Symptoms of a failed clamp include:

• Loose, disconnected or damaged hoses and wiring  
• Water leaks from hose connections
• Electrical or sensor errors

The clamp is also compatible with some Kenmore and other brands that use GE components.
